In this episode Actress Suzanne Roush remembers her first stage audition at age 9. We discuss how an acting internship at Atlanta’s Alliance Theater was pivotal to her theater career and how getting roles on screen has changed as she’s gotten older. She talks about a long term acting gig job where she wore only a hospital gown. And she’ll tell us how to make her Friday night go-to drink, a Dark and Stormy.

Ravens and Seagulls: Essential Theatre (2014)

REVIEW: “As accomplished as the cast is, though, this is really Joan’s journey, and Roush has the centerpiece role. She does a superb job of making the character complex and showing how Amanda’s situation is turning her life inside out… After a 10-year absence from the stage, it’s a magnetic piece of acting from Roush, one of the major performances of the summer.”

In this episode of Parallel Fiction, Heather and Jeff try to look for that pot of gold and break down the meaning of Luck.  Whether it be from perseverance, or breaking a family curse, the two discuss stories where luck plays a big role in the protagonist’s life.

Jeff starts off the first presentation segment with the movie Logan Lucky starring Channing Tatum and Adam Driver.  Jeff takes us through the story of the Logan brothers, who are planning a heist despite lifelong bad luck.  Jeff emphasizes the stellar cast, with standout performances from Daniel Craig and Riley Keough.  Heather and Jeff’s banter about the other cameo’s in the cast make this film seem like a top contender for Jeff’s rating.

Fun Fact!  The standard "This movie is a work of fiction" disclaimer gets a little twist at the end: "Nobody was robbed during the making of this movie. Except you."

Heather picks up the second segment of presentations with her review of classic novel The Joy Luck Club.  Heather takes us through the plot with some funny side bars with Jeff.  Despite the heavy nature of the novel, Heather makes the characters and many storylines easy to digest.

Fun Fact! The film adaptation of The Joy Luck Club was the first Hollywood feature film with an all Asian Cast.

Following these reviews, Heather and Jeff dive into commonalities between the two works such as divine luck, breaking an unlucky streak, contagious luck, feeling lucky, and luck meeting experience.

Listen in to hear Jeff and Heather’s candid thoughts on the masterpiece scenes of each story, how Logan Lucky and The Joy Luck Club compare, and how Jeff and Heather relate the two. Share this episode with everyone who can use a great story!

Heather’s rating for The Joy Luck Club:  Nice – A classic novel that may be a little too heavy to read quickly.  Very thought provoking.

Jeff’s rating for Logan Lucky: Super  Nice – A hidden gem of a movie with a stacked cast and the perfect type of dry humor that fans of Cohen Brother’s movies will appreciate.  Definitely a must see from Jeff.

Ebben a tőlünk megszokott, kiszámíthatatlan adásban először meghallgathatjátok Csabi élménybeszámolóját a miskolci Cinefestről, majd az Apple szeptemberi keynote-járól beszélgetünk kicsit. Tony váratlanul bedobja a "survivalism" témakört, itt elmélkedünk kicsit a világvégéről, majd persze szép fokozatosan átkötünk a filmes blokkra.

Az alábbi filmekről esik szó itt-ott az adás folyamán:

• Brigsby Bear
• Columbus
• Mother!
• It Comes at Night
• Before I Fall
• Dunkirk
• Wonder Woman
• Alien: Covenant
• Tropic Thunder
• Valerian
• Logan Lucky

Logan Lucky is a film starring Channing Tatum, Adam Driver, Katie Holmes and Daniel 'Potato Face' Craig. How did Scott have no idea what it was when it was released? That's right, in this special episode of Ignorance Is This, Scott and Oliver SWITCH ROLES. Oliver had seen a trailer or two of Logan Lucky beforehand and Scott went in almost COMPLETELY BLIND. Who had the better time? And more importantly... did it fly under the radar because it's bad? Or is it a hidden treasure?

And as always we cap off the show with some fun games. In this episode: The Fruit is Acute and Critical Acclaim or Critically Lame?
